A sad state of affairs

So today we got a box of Heroclix singles, including a small selection of evil minions of Hydra and A.I.M., because it's just more fun that way.

And so I'm unpacking the box, taking out the styrofoam peanuts, and I pull out one of the A.I.M. figures. I look at it--hey, cool, it's a female fanatical follower of MODOK. That's kind of neat. I look at the base: "A.I.M. Medic."

Hm.

I look at the two other varieties of A.I.M. figure--all designated as fighters, all male.

I start to look at the Hydra figures. All varieties are male, except for the one female Hydra operative: "Hydra Medic."

Okay, now granted that the two medics are both holding guns, and they can fight and all that, but damn! Apparently there's a glass ceiling in the field of Evil Minionry...
